Yes he has. he got 54 points to West's 53.

He has not broken the amended record taking into account the old scoring system. But his name will go into the record books and rightly so. Well done CT.

Erm, may I be as bold as to suggest that the "amended record" is the one where tries are somehow magically worth 33% more points even though the same physical event took place, rather than the other way round. On a like-for-like basis, the only valid basis for any scoring record, West beats Thorman by either 53 vs 50 or 64 vs 54, whichever way you prefer to cut it.

C'mon you Rovers!

Update : the RFL website now has Thorman kicking all 20 goals, as well as scoring 4 tries, so taking his tally to 56.

Sky Sports ScoreCentre had Presley kicking 1 of the goals when I first posted, and in fact the Sporting Life website still does.

Close, but still no cigar...

To paraphrase Alex Murphy, "check what it says in the record books"

I'm sure the record books will be able to count as well as I can, no concerns there (eventually, when someone has pointed out the obvious to them...)

I don't know why everybody is so surprised at this result. Northumbria Uni lost by 132-0 at Blackpool in the Championship One last season.

Haha true dat.

They are consistent then

You can only score using the points avaliable at the time of the game, so congratulations to Thorman on the World Record. West still hold the record for tries in a match though.

Congratulations to Chris and best wishes to both Matthews brothers.
